2000 AD #1086

Prog 1086 of 2000 AD puts Judge Dredd front and center in an action-packed cover by Jason Brashill, depicting the armored lawman blasting through a wall in a hail of bullet casings — every inch the self-proclaimed "Judge, Jury & Executioner." Inside, Dan Abnett writes "Pup Fiction, Part 2" with art, inks, and colors all handled by S. B. Davis, while the prog also promises a 15-page Sinister Dexter story cheekily billed as "Lyrical Gangsters." A fine slice of British comics from 1998, this issue showcases the anthology format at its energetic best.
